Passionate about evidence based change.
Uplifting consultancy for a better future.
Let's transform the environment we live in,
& the environment we create through our actions and words.
Award winning consultants, and courses.
Leading in evidence based & outcomes focused approaches.
We enhance wellbeing, quality of life and efficiency.
We do this through influencing
the behavioural, cultural and physical environment.
We advise, workshop and create: providing courses and/or consultancy in evidence based, outcomes focused approaches to master planning and interior design, as well as model evidence based methods of management and staff team behaviors.
Our model reduces long term costs, attracting the best staff and increasing staff retention through generating an enriching and supportive environment that yields best value for investment. The model delivers optimal efficiency and productivity through ensuring passive and/or active contact with well-being assets, supported by evidence based, human centred design.
By reducing proven stressors in care settings we further reduce costly excessive medication use, excessive symptom expression. The model also results in payment of positive behavioral dividends in clients, user groups and staff.
With a rational, evidence based model in place, repeatable outcomes are achievable.
Such outcomes can include reduced stress, enhanced wellbeing, enhanced positive social behaviors, reduction in symptoms of depression and reducing other negative symptoms for user groups and staff teams.
Through placing an evidence based, logical system at the root of built environment and team behaviour design, we provide a framework that your people can harness to achieve a boost in efficiency, staff retention and quality of life.
A stronger, more positive culture in leadership and services, beneficial built environments that give value for investment. Fewer sick days, improved morale and increased resultant productivity.
Our evidence based & outcomes focused, inclusive, approach to environmental design boosts well-being, reduces stress and enhances accessibility of spaces for the autistic spectrum, whole of life living, special needs more widely, dementia and for all of us in the neuro-typical spectrum.

Engaging with our surrounding environment transforms how we think, feel and act...
The world around us is composed of physical and behavioral phenomena.
They interact with our senses, our neurology & identity.
They affect our mood, emotions and sense of safety.
They generate our choices, behaviors and habits.
Our internal language and sense of who we are is changed or reinforced, moment to moment, week to week, month to month.
We can, and should, stack the odds of positive outcomes in our favor.
We have spent years studying research into how wellbeing, stress, creativity, navigation and positive identity are influenced by the behavioral and physical environment.
This has resulted in the development of flexible, repeatable and affordable frameworks that transform team culture, and give clear methodology to inform master planning and interior design.

Infection control and resilience against pandemics such as corona virus as well as localised pathogen outbreaks.
This aspect of our evidence based approach is critically important for pandemic resilient dementia care design, nursing, residential care and other services who are interested in this. For Pandemics such as COVID-19, in dementia or nursing care for example, our cluster model is able to offer enhanced resilience to pandemics such as COVID 19 and stronger infection control of local outbreaks such as Norovirus.
Our design and architecture allows for zero cross contamination of pathogens from each cluster of residents and their support teams, to any other. The building model naturally creates sealable 'social bubbles', each self contained cluster having everything they require for high quality of life, maintenance of an optimal immune system (access to out-doors, exercise, meaningful activity and the ingredients of good wellbeing), regardless of quarantine from the rest of the building.
These healthy living hubs allow for a fractal approach to life, whereby the shrinking of accessible areas does not reduce the opportunity to engage in the full range of wellbeing assets required for optimal health.

The strength of the evidence base we use, is that it is about harnessing the best qualities, and basic facts, inherent to being human.
